Twat

pronounced with a hard A

people tend to default to ~~twut~~ twot, really throwing the A at 'em is fucking hilarious.

... like the difference between scone and scone.

Yeah, you say twot to an English person and they'll look at you like you've sprouted a third head.

The correct way to pronounce it is twat:

The twat in a hat came at me with a bat.

As opposed to:

The THOT whose a bot sent me her twot.

This is great, I have a curmudgeonly relative named Bob, and he would just hate to think that's funny

Hump

Also: dink

Edit: hehehehehehe

You must be a fan of The Princess Bride, or as I like to call it Prince Humperdink and that Blasted Woman Who Didn't Want to Get Married

Your edit is the whole reason I'm here :)

I always enjoyed the word putz. I typically use the verb format but it amuses me that every definition is so different lol.

As a mountaineer I enjoy the word "cwm". Sounds like it should nasty but in reality it's just Welsh for cirque.

[–] Bougie_Birdie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

How do you pronounce that, is it something like "coom" ?

I can totally get why it would sound gross

Scrunched

Longest syllable I can think of, rather ironic

[–] Bougie_Birdie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think 'scrunched' is the longest one I've seen in this post, I can't think of a longer one.

In a similar vein, it feels really wrong that 'abbreviate' is such a long word.
